Lodestar of Life
By Paul Pruel
It is the heart of life
the force that erases
the differences between people
it bridges the splits of bitterness
It is the pot of gold
at the beginning
and at the end
of the rainbow
It springs the beauty
that bends across the sky
on a stormy days
the security for which
children weep
the yearning of youth
the adhesive
that binds marriage
the lubricant
that prevents devastating
friction in the home
the safeguard
of community life
the beam of hope
in a world of distress
the peace of old age
the sunlight of hope
shining through the death
it is a gift of God
the most enduring
most powerful virtue: LOVE.
